SHRIMP AND WHITE CORN (HOMINY) CHOWDER



Shrimp and White Corn (Hominy) Chowder image

This chowder is really rich and delicious. The recipe was given to me by my friend Angie and it is her husband's recipe. My husband loves this stuff and asks me to make it all the time. If I can't find Rock Shrimp here in land locked Colorado, I'll use regular shrimp and cut it into bite sized pieces. There is a bit of effort to this recipe, but it is well worth it.

14 ounces chicken broth

  • Melt butter in large stock pot.
  • Saute onion, celery and carrot until tender, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Soak the hominy overnight: Soaking the hominy overnight helps to soften it and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak it overnight, you can quick-soak it by boiling it for 30 minutes, then turning off the heat and letting it sit for 1 hour.
  • Rinse the hominy thoroughly before cooking: This helps to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large pot to cook the hominy: Hominy expands as it cooks, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
  • Season the hominy with salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for hominy. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Cook the hominy until it is tender: Hominy is done cooking when it is tender and has a slight bite to it. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of hominy you are using. White hominy typically takes about 1 hour to cook, while yellow hominy takes about 2 hours.
  • Serve the hominy hot: Hominy is best served hot. You can serve it as a side dish or as a main course. It can also be used in soups, stews, and salads.

Conclusion:

Hominy is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.
